Chapter 19
Everyone froze in place, while Grace glared at them. The dress that Grace wore at that time was very beautiful, like a royal princess’s dress full of sparkling sempuins.
She looked very elegant and majestic, especially with the way she looked at everyone in an arrogant manner.
“S–sister–in–law? Lizzy muttered stutteringly “1–but…”
“You shouldn’t call someone a bad nickname, Ms. Lizzy, even if you don’t know them! That’s very rude and against etiquette!” said Grace in a firm tone. “Luckily, my sister–in–law is very kind, so she didn’t throw the wine in her glass in your face. It would be different if I was the one called that.
This is one of the most enjoyable moments for me. Seeing the four people I dislike the most, show ridiculous reactions, it was great entertainment.
Eva and Lizzy were pale–faced and seemed to be shaking, while Peter was gawking like an idiot. My ex–mother–in–law Ohoo… Her face was red like a boiled crab, whether because of embarrassment or anger, I don’t know and I don’t care.
“How could Leora be your sister–in–law, Ms. Grace? Peter asked after swallowing several times. He glanced at Lizzy with a raised eyebrow. “You said Ms. Grace isn’t married yet?”
“I’m not married yet, but my fiancé and I have already chosen a wedding date and are making a list of people I’should invite,” said Grace in a dangerously soft tone.
Himmediately felt that my feelings of respect and liking for Grace increased rapidly. I don’t know what problems happened
between Grace and Lizzy, but I saw that Grace’s eyes clearly showed that she didn’t like Lhow what problems happested
Jayden hugged Grace’s waist and whispered in her ear, which made Grace smile broadly and nod.
“Leo, let’s occupy the table that the committee has provided for us,” said Grace, taking my hand and pointing to a table on the side of the room which was separated by ribbon and a sign that said “VVIP“.
“Ms. Grace is right, Noah grumbled angrily. The food I have prepared for you on that table seems to be cold now, Too much delay!”
Jayden laughed and put his arm around Noah’s shoulder. He looked at Peter. “I’m sorry, my brother was upset. He’s been confused about a lot of strange cases lately and it’s making him angry quickly. Understandably, his law firm has been on the rise lately.”
“Your brother!” Peter asked confused.
“Yes. Noah is my grandfather’s adopted son. He had Jeremiah by law. So, he is actually my uncle, but he doesn’t like being called uncle,” said Jayden calmly. “Ah. I’m sorry, but I have to end our conversation.”
“Mr. Jayden, are you and Leora…” said Moira hesitantly.
“We? We are twins. I’m a little surprised that you didn’t immediately notice that when I came with Leora to your house to get her things that were left behind.”
Jayden’s explanation made Peter even more confused. He looked at me with a pleading look as if asking me to give him an explanation
“Leo, how is it possible that you and Mr. Jayden are twins? Peter asked quietly.
“Oh, it was just a coincidence and a lucky draw for me,” I answered dryly to Eva, Moira, and Lizzy. “I think, if I still survive as a punching bag in your house, I will never know that I still have family and they just happen to be very, very, very rich.”
Chapter 19
Jayden laughed at my words. He looked at me and Grace who were still waiting and he winked. “Let’s go to our table, ladies You must be hungry”
1 could still feel the gazes of the four people behind me were very sharp. I think, if their eyes contained lasers, I and the three people walking with me would have died with bodies full of holes.
This evening was very enjoyable. Jayden and Grace pamper me while Noah cares about me so much that sometimes my heart beats really fast because of his attitude,
I don’t know what happened at the table occupied by Peter and his family, but I saw Peter and Lizzy glaring at each other
In my heart I felt satisfied. Even though I actually don’t want to reveal my identity to them, I think this situation is good too.
They won’t dare bother me again after this. However, it turns out that Grace is more senior than Lizzy and it is clear that the name Jeremiah in business circles has power that cannot be taken lightly or underestimated, so Peter also looks like a scared puppy in front of Jayden.
For the first time in my life, I felt worthy of straightening my shoulders and lifting my chin, especially in front of Moira and Eva. All this time they have tortured and insulted me, so I think it’s time for me to turn things around.
After finishing eating, I saw Eva stand up and seemed to be heading back. 1 touched Grace’s arm.
“I need to go to the bathroom,” I said, wincing-
“Want me to accompany you?” asked Grace, offering herself.
No need. I’m worried that Jayden will feel annoyed with me when he gets home, because he thinks you’re busy taking care of me instead of him. I think my twin brother is the jealous type, right?” I said with a wink.
Grace laughed and whispered into my ear. T’m glad someone can finally understand that sometimes Jayden can be as fussy as a toddler.
I smiled and stood up. Noah looked up at me. “Where are you going?” he asked. He also stood up,
“To the bathroom,” I answered, a little embarrassed by his alacrity
“Let me take you. I also need to go to the bathroom,” said Noah. He reached out his hand towards me and despite feeling al bit embarrassed, I took his hand.
Noah took me to the front of the women’s bathroom. “I’ll wait if you haven’t finished later, or just wait for me here if you finish first.”
I nodded and watched him walk towards the men’s bathroom which was not far from the women’s bathroom.
When I entered, Eva was doing her make–up in front of the sink mirror. She saw me come in with a sour face.
I paid her no mind at all and went into one of the booths. After I finished and left the cubicle, it turned out that Eva was still in front of the sink, standing with her arms folded in front of her chest, staring at the cubicle where I was. She was clearly waiting
for me to come out.
I walked over to the sink and washed my hands, without looking at her at all. It seemed like she goi annoyed and unexpectedly, she pulled my hand roughly.
I grimaced. Her long nails scratched my hand leaving three reddish lines.
“What, Eva? You’re so rude!” I snapped angrily.
“Tsk! You’re spoiled now! You never even cried when I slapped you or grabbed you,” Eva snapped. “Has being rich made you soft? Where did you use the services of a shaman to ensnare Jeremiah’s family?”

Chapter 19
I didn’t answer Eva’s words, just took the phone and took a photo of Eva’s hand scratches on my arin.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Eva asked confused.
“This will be evidence of abuse if I intend to report you to the police,” I said calmly.
Eva looks panicked now. Don’t be ridiculous, Leora! I only scratched you a little and I’m sure it didn’t even hurt at all!”
“Do you want to know whether it hurts or not?” I asked, deliberately raising my hands and showing my beautifully decorated nails.
34%
“But I’m not a barbaric woman like you. Besides, scratching you will only make my beautifully decorated nails damaged and broken because your skin is very thick.” I said while smiling swerly.
Eva looked really angry and she pushed my shoulder. Actually it wasn’t a very strong push and I was even used to being pushed by her like this, but I deliberately acted as if the push was very strong and I hit myself against the cubicle door while groaning loudly, then fell sitting down on the lloor.
“Oh God, Leo!”
Noah barged into the bathroom and watched as I fell. Eva almost jumped in surprise when she saw Noah storm in.
“Noah,” I whimpered, wincing. “It hurts so much. Eva pushed me hard.”
Eva glared at me. “Hey! I pushed you but it wasn’t hard at all. It was too–”
think you’d better be prepared, Ms. Eva, Noah interrupted calmly.
“Prepare for what?” Eva asked confused.
“I will file a lawsuit against you. You have tried to molest my client.”
Eva’s face turned deathly pale. “But–”
Noah helped me stand up and carried me out. I looked back over Noah’s shoulder and smiled while winking at her.
Take my revenge, Eva!
